Is wheatgrass okay for celiacs?
The Canadian Celiac Association advises, “Wheat grass doesn’t contain any gluten protein and it is usually harvested before any seeds develop. The concern has always been that their might be seeds accidentally mixed in. Some manufacturers have started to test their products and can produce wheat or barley grass in a way that is not contaminated with gluten. Look for a product that is marked “gluten free” to be sure the manufacturer has considered the issue.”

Is Giddy Yoyo Grass tested for gluten?
The Celiac Scene dialed up the grower himself, Tom Stem, reaching him by cellphone in his truck as he was driving the backroads of the family farm. When asked about his gluten-testing protocol, he provided me with pure gold – gluten-free test results. Using Elisa Testing specified by the Standards Counsil of Canada, gluten was not detected using a threshold detection limit set to 5ppm. Celiacs are good to go!

What’s special about Giddy Yoyo Grass?
Many sources of wheatgrass are grown indoors. While still nutritious in their own right, most indoor grown wheatgrass contains harmful molds that release poisons called mycotoxins. Not only does this compromise the taste of the juice, mycotoxins can cause nausea, dizziness, headaches and in those predisposed, allergic reactions.

Giddy Yoyo has specifically sourced wheatgrass that is grown outdoors and by a reputable Canadian grower. When grown outside, the grass’ root system is 6 times longer making for chlorophyll levels that are 50% higher and virtually eliminating simple sugars. Because there are no molds in outdoor-grown wheatgrass, Giddy Grass is raw, extremely nutritious and tastes incredible.

Why is wheatgrass so good for us?Wheatgrass juice comes from the wheat species Triticum Aestivum and is harvested when it is young and flush with powerful green chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is the lifeblood of all plant life and makes up 70% of the genetic structure of wheatgrass juice while the remainder is extremely mineral rich and contains more than 30 types of enzymes. Since it is a complete protein, wheatgrass juice contains over 20 amino acids and has a higher protein density than any other food. 1oz of wheatgrass juice is equivalent to 2.5lbs of fresh green vegetables.
